Starting a new blog because the last one got a bit long. So I’m waiting patiently for this to bloom:
This is on the new cactus we planted a few months ago: Remember this?
Anyway, the bloom in the front just fell off before it blossomed:
I’m wondering if the flower falls off and a new shoot will grow from it. I’d like to see a new shoot on this cactus so it will expand like the one out front. Jack wants to remove the front one, but I refuse to do that. I love that cactus by DAISEE2!
I may get a lap cat afterall:
He was sleeping on the bed this morning at my feet. Baby steps!
Any day now!
I’m getting excited about going to Williams next Wednesday! Here is my route:
Here is a video of the place when I was there in 2021:
This was the bloom on Friday, May 1, 2026: I’m guessing SUNDAY!
This is on Saturday – I think it will bloom tomorrow!
Lloyd brought his baby by yesterday – beautiful!
TaDa!!!!! Today is Sunday, May 3, 2026:
Here is the bloom on Monday, May 4, 2026. I wonder if it will open again? Looking forward to the others opening – will probably happen when I’m in Williams:
I’ve fallen in love with these YouTubers. I contacted Larry for his off grid location near Williams and he sent me the GPS location! I’m psyched to try to locate it in Williams this week when I’m up there. SO COOL!
It is Tuesday, May 5, 2026. I’m going to meet Genie and Allison for lunch today. Taking off tomorrow for Williams. Looking forward to it. I’ve been up since 4 so I could go to my meeting and now I’m waiting for Jack to wake up. I’ve had 3 cups of coffee. Ziggy is helping me today!
Got a picture of this morning’s blooms:
I am so proud of this cactus! Just love the blooms. They seem to bloom for just one day and they come out at night. Here is last night’s picture:
